Member Tiers & Badges
Recognizing the people who participate, contribute, and help us build All About Jazz.
All About Jazz has always been built with the help of the people who use it. Readers discover music, members follow musicians and writers, contributors submit articles, upload photographs, and others add events, update musician pages, improve our data, and help us grow the platform.
Our member tiers recognize that participation.
As you use All About Jazz and contribute to the platform, certain activities earn points. Those points reflect your level of engagement and contribution and determine your member tier, beginning with Listener and progressing through Explorer, Participant, Contributor, Advocate, Ambassador, Pillar, and Steward.
The system is designed to reward more than activity for activity's sake. We place greater value on actions that strengthen All About Jazz, improve the experience for others, expand our resources, and help us build a more connected jazz community.
The more you participate, the more you contribute. And the more you contribute, the more valuable All About Jazz becomes for everyone.
